I have searched the sites and just can't find the answer to this question. I have six baby SF's, just seven weeks old and I choose all Hens
but one looks different than the others. It has some dark brown feathers on the back of its head and so I am wondering if it is a Roo? Probably
need to grab her/him and get a picture. Any guesses? Thanks!

Here is the crappy photo of the boys. More higher quality photos to come.

Might just be a darker pullet. Yes, pics would be helpful.

Look like handsome boys, Henry.

She is very pretty!

I can't see her feet but she looks like a pretty nice girl!

Got a few pictures now, although they do not like their pix taken:>( It is the middle one I am wondering about? I just saw a video on UTube that showed if you hold the chick and turn them over forward and back ...that the Pullets will spread their tail feathers and the Roo's will not. Did it on several babies and worked every time, did anyone ever hear of this? I think I will try it this afternoon, if it works will let you all know..Happy Labor Day!

Looking like girls right now, but really too young to be 100% sure...

I was sure you were gonna say they were both boys because of the dark color on the wings.

I agree they look like girls to me.
